NASA announced on Friday that its side of the International Space Station is open for business. It won’t come cheap.
Daily access to the life support system and toilet will run an amateur astronaut $11,250 per day. Tack on an additional $22,500 a day for food and -- air. That all adds up to a nightly tab of about $35,000. And that doesn’t count the flight.
